It's crow season again.

You could count them....

There are 12 that I can see,

Well, not quite entirely.

Jetée, did you stick a feather in your cap? If you did, that's probably why. Maybe one of those crow feathers Tophat posted got stuck in your cap.

even the longest and windingest roads have an end, and mine is getting larger than it used to be, but I'm patient for when I'm not so hungry

Let's go, Bucs?

I think I'm ready for some football. I hate thinking about anything else on a day I look forward to, especially the tediousness of moving and being a destitute ronin. Let me enjoy my day, society at large!

ring · 09-27-2009, 09:00 AM

I'll share some rice if anyone is hungry. It's brown jasmine rice.

Jetée · 09-27-2009, 09:02 AM

Mm, I just brushed my teeth. The rice will taste like ants.

Lotus Elise.

I'd name my child that.

ring · 09-27-2009, 09:53 AM

It has a pleasant flowing sound.

BadNick · 09-27-2009, 10:32 AM

Jet, good idea for a child name. It has various positive connotations to me. I have a friend named Elise...she's very sweet and loving mom. I know she's into yoga so she'd know about Lotus, too. I'm sure she'd not think automotively, though.

ring · 09-28-2009, 10:40 AM

The crow tree.
From my small apartment, I'm blessed with this view.

The next time the crows are having a pow-wow in this tree,
I will try to remember to take a picture.

They talk and talk and yawk.

crows are very smart, though some farmers apparently aren't fond of them for whatever reason. I remember when I was small game hunting and the farmer indicated that shooting crows on his property was OK by him. In the afternoon the fields were quiet so a couple times we were thinking if the crows come overhead next time we'll shoot a couple of them; this is after they had been flying over us all morning. As soon as we thought this, they stopped flying over us! I believe this inspired Alfred Hitchcock

BadNick · 09-29-2009, 04:38 PM

Was that previous person a Crow native American?

...though I'm not sure why they would consider it "America" since that name is from some old Italian guy

Ourcrazymodern? · 09-29-2009, 06:46 PM

Just think where we'd be
without the names we give things
like "crows" & "people".

Tophat665 · 09-29-2009, 08:35 PM

Beats the snot out of Vespuccia, which is the other likely name.

ring · 09-30-2009, 06:16 AM

Yes, Nick, it was. The name they called themselves was, Apsaalooke.

Not having names for things would leave us rather tongue tied.

Hey! It's my long lost buddy Walter. hug hug hug.

Walter, #83 of the Houston Texans, WR - stat line first game back, (week 3, Sept. 27): 7 catches for 96 yards, one touchdown.

And, I'm glad that I got four consecutive captions for the picture; they were all hilarious in their own rights.

BadNick · 09-30-2009, 05:24 PM

Jet,
I heard a news report today about what a huge "industry" fantasy football has turned in to. The part that intrigued me the most was that you can buy insurance against fantasy football loses. Not that I expect you to lose, I'm just saying.

Jetée · 09-30-2009, 05:57 PM

I am losing, but I have yet to invest a dollar into the "industry", so just like my health and my mind, my team goes without insurance.

I think fantast football is my new toy, as this is still my sophomore season in playing, and the first season in which I drafted my own team. It doesn't help that I have the same record as the Raiders and Redskins (1-3), but at least I've scored over 330+ points in that span.

Fantasy footbal is weird: it has blown up in populairty over the past 4-5 years, and they market it heavily. I recall a time when I asked what the hell it was, and ESPN didn't have an answer for it. They shunned the practice for a few years, then realized what fools they had been in not tipping over a cash cow.

Now, I think since last year, I read a statistic that fantasy football is a $1.4 billion industry annually.

Also a good tidbit: fantasy football has skyrocketed in popularity as it has become easier to maintain and work via internet services, but a trivial fact i learned is that the practice of stat-keeping and "fantasy teams" is nearly 3 decades old.

Tophat665 · 10-01-2009, 06:02 AM

Cash Cow-Tipping.
Is 15% enough anymore?

BadNick · 10-01-2009, 08:45 AM

cash cow, cash cab, cashew...I like cashews and other nuts.

Tophat665 · 10-01-2009, 09:44 AM
